Two 17-year-old students were searching for a missing ewe in a jungle in Kuala Berang when they discovered a suspected vice den. The place was set in a clearing with a canvas tent and pots of water. Towels, sarongs, cans, and brassieres were hung over a rope, while condoms were all over the area.

The students returned to inform some villagers in Kampung Paya Besar. Some of them said the the place was likely used by couples or groups for vice activities. Sometimes they would see them entering the jungle on motorcycles and coming out hours later.
